Need External Analysis Islamic Finance Products Sukuk Opportunity Threat

shared by aminej on 27 Feb 21 - No Cached
  • In Ghana there is currently just one sharia-compliant financial institution – Ghana Islamic Microfinance, which began as an NGO – though there is significant scope for growth. Part of this is due to the country’s demographic make-up. Although Muslims are far from the only potential client base for IFS, as evidenced by the rollout of Islamic financing instruments in countries like the UK and Japan, sharia-compliant products could prove attractive for the roughly 17.6% of Ghana’s population that identifies as Muslim, according to the 2010 census.

      The fact that 17.1% of Muslims in Ghana won't be able to invest in our applications is a big threat but we have thought that if we included shariah compliand products such as sukuk we could include this marginalized part of the country and improve their situations

      Lumkani partners working with the company to provide help and assistance to low-income families.
  • Building on the insights gained from the GSMA project, Lumkani plan to develop a suite of low-cost sensor technologies that would decrease the risk of fire as well as other risks such as flood or theft, and in turn create access to financial services which serve as a critical safety net. In addition, they will continue to work with the GSMA to pursue opportunities to roll out in numerous humanitarian contexts such as in Kenya, Iraq and Bangladesh.

      The challenge is explained by the lack of trust that the customers have toward digitalization. However, I think nowadays partnership is not a challenge as it was.
